(NEWSER) – Yet another villager died by tiger-attack in northern India yesterday, and officials are trying to figure out just how many tigers are out there eating people, Fox News reports. The new victim—the 10th in 6 weeks—was a 50-year-old man collecting firewood when the tiger ate parts of his leg and abdomen. Villagers scared it off with metal rods and shovels, but it was too late. "People rushed to his rescue on hearing his screams," park official Samir Sinha told the Times of India. "But he was dead by the time they got there."
